Sounds interesting. I was thinking about getting around to Feersum Endjinn next, but may now alter my Banks lineup to one of the others.

Midway through Anderson's Islam and Obama's Audacity---had to get some lighter input so am reading an old favorite, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. I'm fond of this period in literature, the Romantic movement in general and some of the early Gothic novels, but few are as readable or seem as contemporary as this one written by an eighteen year old woman whose life was both golden and bitterly challenging. Great classic. Makes Wilkie Collins look sick.
